Chapter 433 "Let's go down." ” Green rubbed his faintly aching forehead and snorted with a calm face.
A young officer in front of him immediately straightened up, gave a military salute, and then turned and walked out of the tent with his head held high.
When the curtain was lifted, a cold wind rushed in from outside, and Green couldn't help but shiver slightly.
The wind was not as cold as expected, but Green's heart was really cold.
The officer is a logistics officer in the army, and the chief of logistics in the entire Mor County is Cato, who is known as a smuggler in the army, and the logistics system in the army is all card bundles.
Soon after the establishment of the army of the Northern Military District, the logistics officers in the army were all recruited and selected by Cato, and under the influence of that Cato, one by one the surnames were just like Cato's person: cunning with a bit of ruthlessness.
Green has never been too involved in the logistics system, on the one hand, Cato's personality and loyalty to Char do not need to be repeated, with Cato's shrewdness and loyalty, Green is also very relieved to hand over such a heavy burden of logistics and military supplies to him.
On the other hand, as Char's family background and this small group grow little by little, Green, an old man in the army, naturally has a little understanding of his own.
He knows very well that in Char's small group, his prestige and qualifications are second only to Char's, and he even said it politely, if you simply look at the qualifications, he is nicknamed Mad Dog, he is a celebrity in the army who has been famous in the empire for many years, and he is a graduate of the Imperial Affairs Academy, the first faction in the army, the Eagle Department, and the descendants of the old Duke Minas must be famous and famous, have a background, and have connections.
With his identity as Green, if he is placed somewhere else, in this kind of troubled times, it is the time for the empire to employ people, which is enough to take the position of a commander.
Char has only been in the army for a short time, but Green has already wisely begun to avoid suspicion, although he knows that Char will not doubt himself, but in this small group, others may not think so.
In order to consolidate the stability of this small group, then it is necessary to establish Char's authority and core position, and if he interferes too much in everything, he will inevitably be retorted by others behind his back.
Therefore, for such an important opening as military supplies, Green almost let Char hand over Char to Cato to manage, and he would never meddle in this matter easily.
On this expedition, the accompanying military supplies were also arranged by Cato, and he did not place his own henchmen.
This approach has maintained the stability of the small group of Moore County, and at the same time, it has also made some people who have hidden other thoughts lose their thoughts Char has a little less seniority after all, and annexed the remnants of the Sixth and Seventh Corps, and the people of those two corps, there is no shortage of veteran veterans in the army, although they had to obey due to the situation at that time, but after a long time, under the command of Char, a rookie in the army, it is inevitable that no one will have other thoughts in their hearts.
Not to mention anything else, when Char was in Denzel City, when Char left the city several times, someone below came to Grimm vaguely, vaguely revealing his meaning, hoping that Grimm could take the opportunity to seize power or even replace him In the hearts of those veteran oils, Green is still a person who is qualified to be a commander, after all, Mad Dog's fame and background qualifications are there, and Char is too tender.
Fortunately, Green's personality and uprightness did not pay attention to those dark undercurrents, but simply let go of the power and made a sufficient gesture.
Only then did he gradually calm down some of the restlessness.
Although Green was a little dissatisfied in his heart on this expedition, at least in front of people, he did not openly question Char's orders for any army, if the majesty of the commander could not be guaranteed, then even if this army was well-equipped, it would be scattered Since the expedition to the south, Green has kept in mind the plan discussed with Char, and has taken this "main force" to the south, step by step, steady and steady If it is ugly to say, this posture is like going out on the expedition, but it seems to be low-key and negative when withdrawing troops.
The army advanced slowly, shrinking into a ball, steady to the extreme, not making any risky moves, even if there were repeated provocations by Odin's small army blocking along the way, he Green was only invisible, the army slowly moved south, step by step, carefully drilled into the set arranged by Manninger, but today, Green really couldn't bear it in his heart When marching and fighting, sometimes you have to take risks, how can Green not understand this truth, but the problem is that the current situation is really dangerous Manningge mobilized garrisons from all over the country to intercept it, Odin elite gathered, and the old foundation of the Red Snow Army was all Grahed out by Manning, this Odin hero, full of spirit, made up his mind to eat this Byzantine army that broke into his territory in one bite, and the last resistance force in the north leveled the situation in the north in one fell swoop, and completely settled the overall situation At this moment, entrenched around Green's lone army, in front of the elite of the tens of thousands of Red Snow Army led by Manninger himself, thousands of Odin reindeer cavalry roamed on both wings, and a tens of thousands of Red Snow Army copied behind Green, cutting off the retreat route of Green's army.
What's more, now Green's department has penetrated hundreds of miles into Xiertanran County, and the army is alone, and there is naturally nowhere to replenish the heavy grain and grass, and there are all eyes around him.
The army could move slowly before, but two days ago, it was finally unable to move forward.
This sleeve, Manninger finally pierced into the mouth There is no way to advance, no way to retreat, just now the logistics officer in the army came to report to Green again, and the consumption of grain and grass in the army is almost bottoming out.
The people's food can last a little longer, after all, the soldiers can eat less, and they can delay for a few more days.
But the forage for the war horses was not enough.
Originally, when he went on the expedition, there were not many materials carried with the army, and according to Char's plan, the grain and grass carried by the army were only enough to support half a month.
No matter how economical Green is, today, this stock is almost exhausted Manninger's guy is also cunning, obviously he has already tied his pockets and got in headlong, but the other party is not in a hurry to attack, but instead waits quietly around him.
Thinking about it, this Odin Xiongjie also calculated that his lone army went deep into the enemy's territory, how much grain and grass could be carried to consume it so much, and when his army ran out of food, the army's morale would be unstable, and then he would rush forward, and the fight would naturally be twice the result with half the effort.
Just now, when the logistics officer in the army reported to himself, Green already knew that within three days, if there was no change, then his lone army would only have a dead end As a matter of fact, since yesterday, the rations distributed to the officers and men of the army have been reduced to 70 percent of the standard ration.
Just now, the logistics officer took the initiative to propose a solution, which made Green a little surprised by what kind of subordinates the smuggler Cato had cultivated The officer looked a little too young, and although he stood straight, after all, in the eyes of an old soldier like Green, that military posture was still a little immature.
But it was such a rookie-looking young officer who came up with an idea that scared Green "My lord, if I can't do anything, I have a way to stop the morale fluctuations of the food shortage, the adults only need to arrest me in front of the whole army, and then order me to be killed by military law, as long as it is announced to the whole army, it is I, the logistics officer, who embezzled ordnance, grain and grass, which led to the shortage of food in the army, and this time, the panic of the soldiers' lack of food will be transformed into resentment against me, although this method cannot eradicate the current predicament, but it can at least delay the time for the adults for two days."
When the young officer said such things in a firm, even somewhat indifferent tone, even Green was a little moved.
Where did Char find such a young man with such a ruthless heart He inquired and found out that this young logistics quartermaster, whose name was "Kevin", was a young man from a broken family that Char had rescued from the Odin people in the south during a previous outing.
Because he was quite good at calculating, he was finally asked by Cato to use it under his men.
The method proposed by Kevin was extremely cruel and ruthless, and he didn't take his own surname in his eyes at all.
How could Green really use this method to reproach a little, and then send the quartermaster out.
It's just that there is only so much left in the army, and if there is no progress in Xia Ya in the future, the more than 10,000 people he brought will really have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
Just when Green racked his brains to think of a countermeasure, worried about his situation.
Manninger was in high spirits, as if he had seen the most beautiful moment of his life Since the Chixue Army went south, in addition to a small setback at the beginning, but then it was like a bamboo, completely annihilating the main force of the Seventh Corps of the Byzantine Empire, which made Manninger prestige in that battle, and ate the corps of a central army of the Byzantine Empire in one bite And Manninger's achievement, after spreading to the country, is said to have caused a shock to the five major tribes, the Red Snow Army can be said to be famous in the first war, Manninger himself is different from the ordinary leader of the Odin tribe, he has ambition and ambition, and is good at scheming, whether it is knowledge or mind, it is not comparable to other savage Odin.
He is very clear about the situation in the Odin Empire, below the Odin God Emperor, the five major tribes are not subordinate to each other, and only a strong figure like the God Emperor can suppress the awe and submission of all tribes.
He Manninger has always firmly hugged the thigh of the God Emperor, and it is more likely that his family and the royal family will be married, so it can be said that as long as the current God Emperor Odin is in power, the power of his Manninger and the Bashak clan will not have any problems.
But Manninger thinks longer What he wants is not only the power and wealth of this generation of his own clan, he wants Bashak to enjoy power and wealth for a generation, standing in the core of power in the Odin Empire, standing tall In addition to keeping in line with the royal family, Manninger's heart is to take advantage of the opportunity of the southern invasion of the Odin Empire to occupy a vast and rich habitat for his tribe, so that his future generations of tribal people can have a foundation for a peaceful life The land of these counties in the north of the Byzantine Empire is rich in grain-producing areas, and the climate is relatively adaptable to the Odin.
In his opinion, it was just a bandit-style war, although it seemed to be a momentary scene, and no matter how many slaves were robbed, where was the land valuable Only by truly occupying the land of the Byzantine Empire, turning the Byzantines on this land into slaves of the Byzantine Empire, from generation to generation, slaves and slaves, families and families, from generation to generation, so that their tribes can take root in this land and firmly guard this land, is the greatest capital for the Bashak people to be strong in the future, even if it is a few generations later, even if the tribe is no longer favored by the emperor, as long as there is such a large piece of land and countless slave people in hand, there will be no problem with the strength of Bashak Since moving south, he first annihilated the Seventh Corps of the Byzantine Empire, then occupied the entire territory of Siltan County, and then marched eastward to annex the land of the two counties of the Corsican Military Region, and the territory he has laid has exceeded the land area owned by the Manninger tribe in the country, and the population of the two counties far exceeds the entire population of the Manninger tribe He had been working hard for more than half a year, driving slaves, building new settlements, and preparing for the migration of his family As long as this cold winter has passed and the roads are clear, a large number of ethnic groups can be migrated from the country to come here to reproduce, and as long as they gain a firm foothold after a few years, this land will completely become their own own This is capital, the capital in hand Even had occasional impulses in my heart, and couldn't help but reverie: if a hundred years later, if there are any changes in the Odin Empire, if there is an era of royal weakness, as long as their Bashak clan has such a strong strength, they may not have the opportunity to rise to the top of power In the future, who knows what he is doing now is to lay a solid foundation for the future prosperity of his tribe In Manninger's view, the only stumbling block in front of him now was the small resistance that was entrenched there in Mooreshire behind him.
Before the winter, he sent his son Morka to the expedition, but suffered a small loss, although Manninger was angry, but he didn't really care too much, after all, in his opinion, it was just a group of rabble, his own Odin elite, but a moment careless miss, although his son's incompetence made him a little disappointed, but as long as he waited for the beginning of spring, he raised enough food and grass, and led the army to conquer in person, he could naturally sweep away those rabble.
At that time, he has tens of thousands of male soldiers in his hands, as well as tens of thousands of subordinate troops, sitting on Mor County, Siltan County, Corsica Military District, the three largest grain-producing areas in the north of the Byzantine Empire, with thousands of miles of land, and a million people When that day comes, even if it is His Majesty the Odin God Emperor who is overwhelming in the world, he must look up to himself Of the five major tribes in the Odin Empire, even if his own Bashak can't compete with the royal family, it is enough to surpass the other tribes Life is like this, and the most pinnacle achievement of his life is just around the corner, and this situation makes Manninger how not to be happy and how not to be arbitrary But even with such a great prospect in front of him, Manninger still reminded himself to be cautious At present, his army has arranged the trap and has surrounded the lone army in front of him, but he still did not order a general attack immediately, but restrained the impulse in his heart, and continued to wait patiently for him to wait for the opponent to run out of food and the army was scattered, and then crush the enemy army in one fell swoop Leading the army for many years, Manninger did not fail to calculate that the other side would send a small group of strange soldiers to the hinterland of his territory to cause chaos to attract his attention.

But under his arrangement, in the territory of Siltan County, there are small groups of Odin troops stationed in various important towns, a small number of Red Snow Army plus a certain number of annexed troops, even if there are small groups of enemy troops coming in to make trouble, the troops left behind by him are always enough to deal with and his own old nest New Town, leaving his son Morka, more than two thousand of the most elite warriors of his own tribe, and thousands of annexed troops, even if there are tens of thousands of Byzantine troops attacking the city, it is enough to deal with it No matter how Manninger calculated, he felt that the situation in front of him was already a foolproof of these small enemies, and it was impossible for him to have a chance to make waves again He led these 10,000 elites, and he blocked the front of Grimm's army, waiting day after day.
Manninger, who was waiting, was anxious about himself.
It's just that he decided in his heart that if he waited one more day, the enemy army would be weaker This day, seeing that he was waiting patiently for his surname, it was finally over again.
In the evening, he ran out of his tent and went around the barracks about the Odin's army, which had always been rude, and his commander was not as strict as in the Byzantine army, and everywhere he went, the warriors only saluted respectfully, and then did not stop what he was doing, what he should do, what he should eat.
There are even brave warriors of Odin in the army, who take off their shirts and fight for fun when they have nothing to do, which is also a common scene in Odin's army.
Manninger inspected the camp for a while, and then ran to the camp gate in person, and looked out for a while on the hastily built lookout, the Byzantine army in the distance was still not moving, whether it was already demoralized or the enemy commander had no choice but to accept his fate, but what made Manninger feel a little uncomfortable was that on the Byzantine camp opposite, there were still bundles of cooking smoke.
Just by looking at the smoke, you can at least know that the enemy has not run out of food.
It seems that there will be two more days to wait, Manninger sighed in his heart.
Although he has an impulse in his heart, he is an old and cunning person, and the more critical he comes, the more he reminds himself to calm down.
After looking at it for a while, Manninger snorted, walked off the lookout, and was about to go back to his tent, when he had just taken two steps when he suddenly stepped down There was a glint in his eyes, and he suddenly turned around and climbed back up the lookout to look out for a moment, and a smug smile appeared on his face "Hahaha, it seems that the commander of this Byzantine army still has some ability, and he was almost deceived by him, hehe" He smiled very happily, and even the frowns that had been tightly locked since the beginning of the day were all relaxed, Manninger, as the chief commander and patriarch, naturally had other accompanying generals and subordinates around him, and someone asked: "Chief, what are you smiling at so for?"
Manninger smiled proudly, full of spirit, pointed to the camp of the Byzantine army in the distance, and shouted: "You see that the smoke is not every three times, in the morning, noon and evening, there will be smoke rising, I was deceived by the commander of the Byzantine army before, I saw the smoke, just when they still have surplus food available, naturally it is not good to attack immediately, but now, his trick has been seen through by me."
After a pause, he pointed into the distance: "Look at what is unusual about the smoke."
These subordinates around him are all rough Odin men, staring at them for a long time, where can you see anything Manninger sighed in his heart, after all, the generals and leaders of these tribes around him, although they are brave and brave, but in terms of mind, they secretly smiled bitterly, maybe this is also destined, God gave the Odin people strength and bravery, but they were rude and reckless, and the Odin people who are willing to use their brains like themselves are really less But this thought was just a moment's effort, and Manninger immediately sneered: "These words, the opposite side said that the cooking smoke is continuous, but today it made me see the flaws, you look carefully, if it is really cooking smoke, the smoke must be thin and thin, but you look at the cooking smoke on the opposite side, the smoke is black and rough, where is the cooking smoke, it is clearly in the Byzantine army on the opposite side, the smoke of burning firewood, to pretend to be cooking smoke to deceive me, I think that the Byzantine army must have been short of food for a long time, but the enemy commander is afraid that I will take the opportunity to attack, That's why he let the army cut firewood and burn it, and use firewood smoke to pass it off as cooking smoke, which can be regarded as his bothering I was deceived for a few days, and now that I have seen it clearly, I will naturally not continue to sit idly by."
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and as soon as he raised his hand, he shouted: "Back to the tent, the leaders of the drums and battalions will gather to break the enemy, and now they say."
Manninger's order shook the whole army, and as the drums beat in the army, the leaders of the battalions rushed towards the commander's tent.
In the big tent, Manninger was already waiting, and by the time all the leaders and generals in his army gathered, Manninger was already covered in armor, his face was full of excitement and excitement, and he was full of spirit Seeing the crowd of people in the tent, and seeing in front of him, they were all the most heroic warriors in his clan, Manninger was even more excited, so he shouted: "You have been waiting for a long time, I think everyone has been waiting for the heart of the heart, the lonely army is under the eyelids, let's endure for a long time, today, we are going to eat this piece of fat in one bite" In the big tent, the sound of loud drinking almost overturned the tent The Odin people are good at fighting, and after holding back in this camp for a long time, the warriors below have long been impatient "I mean it tonight" Manninger's face was full of red light, and he was about to give some order impassionedly, when suddenly, he heard a stirring outside the tent, and then the curtain of the tent was opened, and the sound of messy footsteps came, and several of his relatives and guards rushed in with a few Odin warriors in embarrassment The few people who came in were all covered in blood, the armor on their bodies was crooked, and some even had no weapons, and as soon as they came in, they stumbled and pounced, and they all threw themselves on the ground in front of Manninger, and some of them immediately let out a loud cry Manninger's voice stopped abruptly, and when he saw these people, he vaguely recognized them as the small leaders of his own elite army left in the new city, and his heart sank suddenly "You, how about you?"
Manninger's face had changed, and he was about to ask, but suddenly he felt that he was short of breath, as if he had a faint premonition in his heart.
An embarrassed Odin warrior pounced in front of him, slammed his head on the ground a few times, and then got up, and was about to say something, but Manninger suddenly shouted: "Come here, whisper to me" The warrior was stunned for a moment, then walked up to Manninger, leaned over, and whispered in Manninger's ear for a moment.
I saw that Manninger's face, from the previous red light, suddenly became a pale face of blood, as if the muscles on the cheeks had faded in an instant, one by one, they all trembled violently, his eyes widened, and his face was full of rage and grief in the last look Finally, he suddenly yelled: "It hurts me to death" Manninger glared angrily, raised a kick and kicked directly in the abdomen of the Odin warrior in front of him, kicking the man to the ground hard, his voice trembled, and his tone trembled: "You you waste before I came out, how did you explain to you, you you still have the face to live to see me such waste, what do you keep to do?"
He immediately pulled out the long knife at his waist, and with a swipe, he slashed it and saw a bloody light, and the head of the Odin warrior in front of him suddenly rolled out This sudden change made the entire tent stunned, as if everyone was shocked, and no one dared to say a word for a long time Manninger held the long knife in his hand, but his body trembled violently, and finally staggered, and suddenly he let go of his hand, and the knife fell to the ground, and his own people sat down on the ground There were already guards next to him who hurriedly rushed up to support him on both sides, and then he was barely put up and placed on a chair covered with animal skins.
Manninger's breath was already weak, his eyes were closed, and his teeth were clenched At this moment, everyone panicked, and many generals and leaders rushed up, some shouted, some shouted, some ordered to summon guards, and some went out to call the wizards in the army to heal.
After being busy for a while, I heard Manninger lying there, moaning faintly, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at the faces crowded in front of him, Manninger's lips squirmed, and as soon as he opened his mouth, poof, a mouthful of blood spurted out Blood was spilled on his chest and chin, and patches of red on his beard were even more frightening "Boss" "Adult" "Patriarch" There was a call in the big tent, and Manninger's sloppy eyes finally gradually showed a trace of soberness.
He raised his fingers weakly, his lips squirmed, and although his voice was soft, everyone finally heard this sentence "The whole army of the retreating soldiers is assembled and returns to the new city" ` To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
